July 7, 2015 marks the third anniversary of Jeon's fatal accident. To honor Jevon's memory, please go do something energetic in nature, snap a photo ( with a piece of Jevon paraphernalia if you have some), and post it on We Love Jevon.
The program provides that premium payments are only available to employees who are enrolled in Medicare Part A and either Part B or D; and Premium payment or reimbursement is only for Medicare Part B or D premiums and excepted benefits, including Medigap premiums. This rule applies to employers of all sizes. Employers need to remember that Medicare Secondary Payer rules prohibit an employer with 20 or more employees from in any way incentivizing an active employee to elect Medicare instead of the group health plan.
The standard Medicare Part B monthly premium will be $104.90 in 2013 and 2014. You pay $147 per year for your Part B deductible in 2013 and 2014. If you don't sign up for Part B when you're first eligible, you may have to pay a late enrollment penalty for as long as you have Medicare.
